Has anyone seen two therapists concurrently?

Yup.   

One generalist and one gender therapist when I was first getting therapy.  I dropped the generalist after a couple of sessions with the gender therapist as my issues seemed to be entirely within her purview and the generalist was lacking in experience and training with transgender issues.

Currently, I see my gender therapist for individual and small group sessions, and another therapist for larger group sessions that tend to be focused a bit more on transition nuts and bolts related to the group's common provider, Kaiser NorCal.  That's handy and a bit different, a "What to do/Who to call" sort of thing.

My generalist seemed really skeptical when I talked to her about seeing a specialist.  Like she really wanted me to transfer over.  I like my generalist, we've worked together on a lot of things and made a ton of progress.  I really would rather stick with her than give her up to see a specialist.  I was just wondering what other people's experiences are.

My regular therapist found me a gender therapist when I asked. For a while I saw the gender therapist twice a month as well as my regular therapist. It helped confirm my feelings but after a while it became apparent I was talking to both about things that while gender related, were really life issues.... how the open up to my wife about this. I've put the gender therapist on hold about a month ago, with the understanding that I can come back when I want.
I've a long history with my regular therapist and trust her completely.
I do think at some point I'll go back and talk with the GT some more. It helped that he was trans.

I saw two at once for a short while and found it useful. I had different discussions with each of them.

I stopped going to one of them because I couldn't get more appointments with the other one and I needed them at the time.

I briefly had two therapists.  One I was traveling to each week and seeing for emotional issues, and one who came to see me twice a month in order to help me with practical matters related to coming home after a long hospitals stay.  I liked the arrangement, but my insurance company didn't.  They refused to pay for both of them, so I had to let the in-home lady go.

I had 2 therapists at the same time once!

I've never had a gender therapist session for myself, but I did attend a session with a gender-oriented MD with a trans friend who needed my help and she gave me permission to attend the rather emotionally intimate session with her MD. As for myself I needed a doctor to medically certify that I am female, and this was rather obvious to him that I'm female since I was already full-time female with a lot of time on medical-grade female hormones when I first met him.

By the time I started medical HRT and went full-time female in all aspects of my life, I was so sure I am female that I didn't even need a gender therapist to tell me this. I needed the MD for official medical certification -- and it was so duh obvious to him that I'm female that he agreed with me that I am duh obviously female gender. Jennifer, female model.
